I have a friend I met on site a few years ago and we are friends. She prays for Mercy and I all the time.
My issue here is this. My friend is a nice looking gal. She doesnt feel received by men well. She thinks she may never get married.
I have been trying for 2 years now to build her confidence and to encourage her. She is a believer. Really kool person.
I have recently been talking to her about eye contact and just a nice little smile as she walks by people. How you project yourself is often how you will be received.
If your head is down and your eyes are away, people are going to consider you unapproachable. This poor gal beats herself up like there is no tommorrow.
Are there anythings that you have done that helped you be more confident? She went on a cruise once and a guy showed interest and they had a nice time.
People do not cut on others for something and in secret, in the dark place....do the same thing.
I dont say God told me and then waffle on that continually as the picture plays itself out.
I dont go by my experiences as to how I can receive the Gospel
I dont have to have mountain top experiences in order to feel God's presense. He lives inside me and I am very grateful each day for what he does and more importantly who he is.
I also am not afraid to say to a friend that something is way out of whack when they get distracted and follow rainbows that lead nowhere and ae not of God. Otherwise I am not a friend
Jesus always smiles on me, whether its something good I have done or something bad. Why? Because he knows something I do not know. He knows the outcome at the end of the Journey.
He knows I am imperfect. Thats how this package came. He has this little secret weapon.
Its his goodness and kindness that brings me to repentence.
He also knows that he alone is the author and finisher of my faith...whats to worry? He knows.
